Currently I have my phone go to silent when a calendar event is active, but I want it to sync to my Galaxy watch which needs modes/routines.

Whats the best way to go with this? I don't think Tasker has any mode/routine options, correct?

Hi, I have a task that locks my private space, I trigger it with a double-click on the home screen. I'd like to disable fingerprint unlock at the same time, is it possible? I'm on GrapheneOS and I use Shizuku.

Many thanks.

I’m a beginner. I’d like my Android phone or tablet to play a specific notification tone whenever it detects any sound (so that when my camera receives the notification tone, the camera app alerts me) or to notify my phone directly. How should I go about this?thx

Hello.👋👋

I'm having a problem that I haven't been able to fix yet, and it's caused by Tasker.

As soon as I activate DND mode, I lose all sound. This includes the volume of notifications, ringtones, my alarm (which doesn't work because of this), and even just general sound, like the sound off a YouTube video.

It's really annoying.

I know this problem is probably related to a Tasker setting, a mistake, or something else, but I've really, really tried to solve it, and nothing works.

I think that when DND mode is activated, the sound is completely muted; that's what Google Translate confirmed when I tried to have it read a text aloud and it said: "Sound is muted".

I've noticed that when recording my screen with the phone's audio selected, even when I switch to DND, the sound remains in the video.

The problem persists even if the application is uninstalled.

I'm on Android with a Xiaomi Poco phone.

I'm begging you, if anyone could help me, please.🙏🙏

I think the answer is no - at least I cannot seem to get it to respond.

Perhaps someone knows a work-around?

Thanks

Trying to log Blink AI descriptions (“A person is sitting on a chair…”) to Google Sheets via webhook.

MacroDroid catches the notification but body comes back empty:

TITLE=[Camera Name] TEXT=[] BIG=[{not_big_text}] SUB=[Camera Name]

The AI text is clearly visible in the notification shade, so Blink is pushing it — just not into any standard field MacroDroid can read. Tested [notification], [not_text_big], [not_text_lines] — all empty. Looks like Blink uses a custom RemoteViews layout.

Before I buy Tasker + AutoNotification ($5): has anyone actually captured Blink’s AI descriptions?

Did %antextbig / %antext / %anmessages work, or does the custom layout defeat that too?

I'm new to Tasker and trying to figure out how to turn on my Smart switches so my lights come on in relation to when my alarm wakes me up in the morning . I'm trying to use my alarm because my work schedule varies day to day. The issue I'm having seems to be my phone being locked. The smart switches have their own app as well as being linked to Google home and a Google home widget also. I've been trying to use AutoInput. But can't get past the lock screen issue. I set my phone to not need a password when I'm home.

I've been working on the third iteration of my Notification Reminder project for the past few months and it seems pretty solid right now, with one notable exception: dealing with messages from multiple senders in a group thread in Google Messages.

Basically, the project is intended to provide recurring audible/vibrating reminders for selected notifications that I haven't acknowledged yet. Unique notification parameters, along with an assigned priority, are stored in a global array when a selected notification is received. As long as matching elements exist in this array, the reminder task is periodically launched. When a notification is cleared/removed, the matching array element (if any) is removed from the global array.

The problem I'm having is that for Google Messages, if a message is received from Joe Smith in a group thread, and a message in the same group thread is subsequently received from Bob Johnson, details from both notifications are added to the array, but once the group thread is opened in Google Messages, both notifications are cleared, but the only Notification Removed event triggered in Tasker is the one corresponding to the message from Bob Johnson. This causes the global array element for the message from Joe Smith to remain in the array, and the periodic reminder to continue, even though the message itself has been read.

Before I start trying to work around this behavior, I want to see if anyone else experiences the same behavior with Google Messages notifications, and see if anyone sees any issues with my code that would be related to the issue.

I'm trying a *weird* thing, I'm on solar and like to charge my EV only when it's sunny out. My solar charge controller has a charge readout measured in watts, I have a camera pointed at the controller display so I can see how well it's charging for the day. I want to automate turning my car charger on and off depending on the amount of watts the power is currently charging. My idea is to have a tablet running tasker, the camera feed, and the smart home application, periodically screenshot the video feed, pull the number value from the screen and feed that into tasker, if above a set value it'll turn on the charger, if lower it'll stay off.

Is this idea wildly overcomplicated? Is there a better idea?

Appreciate any feedback!

For reasons unknown, Tasker will not allow me to specify a port value of 16443 in my profile. It errors saying only values in the range 1025-9999 are supported.

Why is this the case? How can I work around this?

I really need to use this port because the app from which the request will come hard codes it and I cannot change it.

Thanks!

Even after dismissing all the tasker scene v2, my android stil keeps the "Tasksr is displaying over apps" notification continuously. Idk the exact criteria to replicate it but mostly it happens when scene auto dismisses.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it properly ?

looking to automate my Samsung tablet to open tapo camera live feed on motion or person detection. tried multiple times but to no avail 😕

I got Tasker and Automate specifically for disabling the low battery notifications on my Honor Magic 5 phone based off a thread I read from Google.

I've tried following the guide but cannot get it to work, I still keep getting notifications.

Could anyone please give me an idiot's walk through?

Hi all,

I'm new to Tasker. I have a profile that is active when a text message is received from a specific number. It takes data from that message and does other things with it. This typically works just fine! It's super cool.

Sometimes texts are received quickly, maybe practically at the same time. This happened the other day where three were received at about the same time. Tasker seemed to react to the first and the third message. At least, that's what the "thing" that gets the data from these messages says. I saw text number 1 and 3. Not 2.

I can't really control the rate of these messages so I'm wondering if there are any ways I can configure a profile to accommodate messages received at the same time or nearly the same time as it seems Tasker could struggle with that situation.

Thanks--

Error as shown in the action:

22.11.38/E Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.

I know there is a state profile Battery Level but this profile can only trigger 2 times (from and to). How can i make it trigger every time the battery decrease by every 10% for example without needing to create multiple profiles?

The new Scene V2 in Tasker (available in the beta) allows you to show a scene and directly get results from it: variables, interaction details, and more.

However, I'm not sure if this use case will be more frequently used than simply using a scene as a screen that DOESN'T return a value back to the same task.

You can control this behaviour with the option "Continue Task Right Away" which is disabled by default right now.

The problem with making the task wait for a result by default is that many people get confused why the task is still running after showing the scene.

The problem with making the task continue running right away is that I fear most people will never find the ability that scenes have to return values to the same task where it was called from.

So, what do you think? Will you use Scenes V2 more as

- Standalone Screens, where you call tasks from inside them and don't care about returning values back to the same task

OR

- Screens where you do something in them and then expect the same task to get results from the scenes and continue doing stuff with that?

Or is there a better way to handle the "Continue Task Right Away" option altogether?

Thanks in advance!

HI, Iam new to tasker just bought the app

Iam trying to use the app the simple way I need just one action for now shake device or flipit to take screenshot directly and save it to gallery not share screen option and share

actually Iam frustrated that I can't achieve it the right way

they over too many notifications with error messages that I haven't faced in similar app

is there anyway or video to achieve that

thanks
